Limbo manipulates the very planes of existence to divide his enemies and conquer them in the rift.

This is Limbo, master of the Rift.

In a land of both shadow and substance, Limbo is both nowhere and everywhere.


Release Date: October 24th, 2014

Tapping into the Rift, Limbo demonstrates his art of dimensional travel that disrupts the space-time continuum, blurring the borders between realms and reality. Limbo arrived from the Rift Plane in Update 15.0 (2014-10-24).

Acquisition[]

Limbo's main blueprint can be purchased from the Market. Component blueprints are awarded from The Limbo Theorem quest, obtainable by completing the Europa Junction on Jupiter. Additional component blueprints can be bought from Cephalon Simaris for ReputationLarge 25,000.

Alternatively, upon completion of The Duviri Paradox, Limbo's main and component blueprints can be earned from The Circuit. By selecting him on the rotating week he is available, players can earn his blueprints after reaching Tier 2 (Neuroptics), 5 (Chassis), 8 (Systems), and 10 (Main) rewards.

  • Limbo is the second Warframe who sells for Credits64 25,000, rather than the standard Credits64 10,000, the first being Loki PrimeIcon272 Loki Prime.
  • Limbo is the first Warframe who has a body part that can detach from its body while in a mission, in this case the upper portion of his base helmet (and by extension, his alternate helmets) that resembles and functions like a top hat. Other Warframes being, ChromaIcon272 Chroma's pelt, NezhaIcon272 Nezha's ring, TitaniaIcon272 Titania's Razorwings, GaraIcon272 Gara's glass shards, ProteaIcon272 Protea's turret, and XakuIcon272 Xaku's armor.
  • Limbo's physical appearance, emulating a top hat and coat, evokes the appearance of a stage magician.
    • Alternatively, Limbo appears to have many similarities to Baron Samedi, a Loa of Haitian Vodou. Baron Samedi is depicted wearing a top hat and dinner jacket, and spends most of his time in another realm/plane. Specifically, he stands at the crossroads between the spiritual and physical world. He is tasked with deciding whether or not someone will die and be accepted into the realm of the dead, typically by digging the grave of someone destined to die.
  • Limbo is currently the tallest Warframe in the game when including his top hat, even surpassing ChromaIcon272 Chroma in height.
  • According to his associated questline, the Old War Era Limbo Warframe that the player obtains information about (and subsequent blueprints from the data) died while crossing into the rift plane, scattering his components across the Origin System. Ordis insists the player be more careful as to not repeat the same mistake.
  • Limbo is the first Warframe to have unique rolling animations, propelling himself forward while slipping into and out of the Rift Plane.
    • When performing a back-spring, Limbo will reach up and quickly remove the unique module of his currently equipped helmet, "tipping" his "hat" whilst sliding backward.
  • Limbo is the second quest-driven Warframe that has a Prime variant, after MirageIcon272 Mirage.
  • Aside from his Prime form, Limbo is currently the fastest Warframe to build, each part requiring a minute to construct for a max total of 4 minutes to construct him.

Main article: Rift Plane

Limbo has access to the Rift plane, an alternate dimension to the normal environment, or material plane. By performing a Roll (default Shift ), a Sidespring (A  or D  + Shift ), or a Backspring (RMB  + S  + Shift ), Limbo slides into and out of the Rift plane at will. Several of Limbo's abilities impose the Rift upon the world around him, affecting himself, the environment, enemies, and even allies.

  • Limbo can remain indefinitely in either dimension, until he performs the triggering maneuvers again or travels freely between both planes via Cataclysm130xWhite Cataclysm.
  • When sliding into the Rift plane, Limbo leaves a portal in his wake that lasts 5 seconds. Ally and enemy players can touch the portal to enter the Rift for 15 seconds, after which they will return to the material plane.
    • Allies and enemies can perform the trigger maneuvers to return to the material plane.
    • Limbo himself can use the portal to enter the Rift with no time limit.
  • Once entering the Rift, Limbo cannot gain Energy, and removes Shields from all parties that follow him into the Rift, including from other sources to enter the Rift, such as Banish130xWhite Banish, RiftSurge130xWhite Rift Surge or Cataclysm130xWhite Cataclysm.
